Pro Inspection Ltd.

I hate to say it but... ❄️🇨🇦 Winter is coming! And Safety Steve would like to remind everyone that you'll soon have put your winter tires on and start wearing your "winter driving cap"!

One of the main issues winter poses in many parts of the country is poor driving conditions. According to the Department of Transportation, winter weather conditions are responsible for over 192,000 injuries and 2,200 deaths each year on the road. Outside injury and loss of life, winter weather conditions are responsible for millions of dollars in property damage incidents. The hazards created by winter weather make it hard for even the most experienced drivers to operate a vehicle safely.

To help keep you on your toes, here's a good visual to help you remember how to react to sliding in winter road conditions.

Pro Inspection Ltd is proud to share that we have been awarded a Safety Star Award for 2023 from Avetta! This award is for maintaining compliance excellence, as well as having an excellent safety record - two principals that are at the core of our business.

Here at Pro Inspection, we're big on safety. We also have a Safety Officer (Steve) who loves sharing his safety knowledge!

This months safety corner topic is... WHMIS! Something most of us were taught as early as Grade 6 and as such, we think we know it all! 😂 SO here's a quick refresher to help you stay safe while working!
